WHY Is IT THAT CERTAIN WINDS ALwAl

The only indictions our fathers had

These, though crude, were usually cor

excellent barometer. and physicians Of

ic condition.
Weather changes indicate themselves
| by pains called rheumatism. Why bad
weather should cause such pains is a
mystery!
Does the pain really lie dormant in the
blood, to be made active only when the
wind blows from some unfavorable quar-
ter.

The strange power exercised by some
cats over snakes was illustrated at the re-
sidence of Mr.. Royal. who lives near
Grants pass, says the portland Oregon
ian. Attention was drawn to the strange
antics of kitten recently taken to the
house and on examination it was found
that she had s'rattler" charmed. The
snake, large one, was coiled and with
it's head following every motion of the
kitten in front of it, until gentlemen
who was present despatched the reptile
with club. During the whole occur
renee the kitten seemed to realize the
importance of the situation and never
allowed her attention to wander from the
snake, paying no attention to a strange
dog which arrived upon the scene. The
snake had seven rattles.

Society in India.

Society in Murree is like Indian
!. society in general in all save the three
principal cities. The military ele-
ment very largely predominates, and
Ill custom much of the etiquette of the
first Anglo-Indian communities is still
retained. English people in India
have not yet introduced weekly at
home days, as in the plains, the strict

grandmothers and grandfathers con-
sidered 4 o'clock the state dinner
hour. At II punctually, therefore,
each day the firing of the gun which
sets the true time for the station re-
minds people that they must either be
starting to pay calls or preparing to
receive them. Duly at that time
ladies sally forth on their formal duties
regardless of the power of full
tropical sun and the probable chances,
even in the hills, of an attack of sun
stroke. Those who are of homely dis
positions will ask their friends to come
and see them in the afternoon, but
that has its drawbacks, as tennis
parties and other gayeties cause
almost the whole station to be
mot at home" after 4:3O or 5
o'clock. The calling hours are, how
ever, not the only alteration in home
customs which newcomer has
to observe if she would es-
cape social ostracism, for English
etiquet is in some respects, entirely re-
yersed. The last arrival, for instance,
has TO call upon all the other visitors in
the station, unless she happens to be
bride, and in that case she calls no.

Other customs. again, of very recent

VEGETABLE REMEDIES. -Almost every
vegetable has a specific effect. Celery is
a sedative to the nerve, with favorable
action on neuralgia and rheumatism.
Sumach is believed to act as stimalant
on the kidneys. Asparagus is an admi
rable blood cleanser. To tomatoes is at
tributed special action on the stomach
and liver. Lettuce and cucumbers, with
the ncid used in dressing them, are COOL
ing during the summer. Peas and beans
are strengthening in high degree.
Beets and turnips are also said to have a
tonic action. Dandelion is tonic and
laxative. Red pepper is serviceable in
chronic constipation and some forms of
henorrhoids, in chronic sore throat and
many forms of hoarseness. And it is
now claimed that garlic has been admin
istered in hydrophobia with good results.

A lhIl,l-s Memory.

1t is strange that people reflect not more
on how deeply storms, injuries, vile or
mean things sink into child's memory.
If this be thought of it is plain there is
more loveliness when no forgiveness is
needed than when it is granted; nor shall
you be able to heal by any entreaty or by
any means such lesion of spirit as you
may make in an instant in a young crea-
ture have heard of a little girl who,
taking the dead hand of her brother, said
"This little hand never struck me. Surely
memory richer and fairer than if she
could recall Il thousand repentances for
blows, When this is not. only negative
but positive, SO that one can say; These
eyes always beamed and showed peace;
these hands always labored for me; these
feet were ready with service, and these
ears had a merciful sense, full of atten-
ton which is sympathy '-tbis is a noon OF
memory to which recollections of repent
ance are but dim twilight half dark. u Chr.

a Startlin. Fact.

| knew a gentleman who married sweet
and lovely girl. She was very devoted to
him, and when she discovered his dissipa-
ted habits, she endeavored to shield him.
When he stayed out at night, she would
send the servants to bed. while she waited
and watched for him; and then, in her
night-dress and pair of slippers on her
feet, she would glide down very gently and
let him in.
One night he came home late. The ser
wants were i'm bed The house had a front
door, then a marble vestibule, and then an
inner door. She opened the one, stepped
upon the cold marble, and opened the
outer door, The drunken husband entered,
seized her by the shoulders, swung hel
round, opened the inner door, quickly
passed through, and locked it before his
wife could enter She would not speak
or cry ont, less she should disgrace her hus-
band before the servants.
In the morning she was found with her
night-dress drawn under her feet, crouch
ing in the corner. almost chilled to death.
On her death bed she told her father all
about it, or the circumstances would never
have been known. There is much that is
never known, as we'll as a vast amount OF
misery and degradation that does crop out,
and which is startling in it's reality .-J0ha

The Distiller and HIS Son.

In the first year of my ministry there oc-
Cured an incident within the bounds ofmy
congregation which a half century has
failed to efface from my memory At that
| early day the cause of temperance was
gradually spreading its influence through
our country, and we thought it well to or
game a temperance socie:y in our COM
munity. In my congregation there was a
gentleman thirty-one years of age, OF more
than ordinary intelligence and business ac-
tivity, 1t was desirable that he should
Join our new society, and did my best to
bring him to that point, but without sue
cess. On one occasion, when trying to
persuade him to connect himself with the
temperance movement, he said to me, 81
never expect to be a member of temper
ance society, and yet | rejoice at their eX-
istence. Not on my own account, but for
the sake of that boy pointing to his little
son of four years "When lie has grown
to manhood he will be under better influ-
ence than those which have surrounded
his father. He will have temperance men
for his mpanons-drinking usages will
then have ceased.
replied in most serious tones, "Mr. s.,
whatever effect temperance societies may
have on the community at large, one
thing is certain, which is that the destiny
of your Title son is in ysur hands more than
with all others that such is your influence
on that boy that it may well be expected
that his future will be shaped by yoa, more
than by the whole outside world"
| regret that my words were too pro-
phetc In about two years after the
above mentioned interview | was called to
bury that dear boy. He was burned to
death. His father had small distillery
on his farm. One evening, while engaged
in removing some le-brandy from the
receiver into cask. the boy standing
by with lighted candle, the liquor was
Ignted. an explosion followed, and both
father and son were covered with flames!
The father was taken to his bed, and slow
ly recovered after weeks of suffering. But
where was the son, who was to live and
grow up under the happy influence of a
temperance community, where was lie? On
the day of the funeral, as | entered the
chamber of the suffering father, he turned
his face to the wall, and raising his wound
ed hand as if to shun my sad look, ex-
claimed in agony, "Oh, Ikno'c @hdf yo~ are

W here the sun of hope doth shine,
And vow to drink no more of rum.

The Truesf Homes.

The tiuest homes are often in houses not
especially well kept, according to the ideas
of the very fastidious, where the comfort
and happiness of the inmates rather than
the preservation of the furniture are first
considered. They are not like the home
where the father and sons were obliged tC
always come in 10y the kitchen door, and
then had to take off their boots and walk
in their stocking feet. That home is a
thing of the past; the sons did not stay
any longer than they could help under
that oof.-1Hohtd Constitutions.

The Contest is over in IIarrisonville
lodge. Last Saturday night there We're
three more new members initiated. Fox's
side having the last night and it being
their last chance, it was amusing to see
the exertions made by them. They fipally
succeeded in coming ont twenty ahead of
the other side, but they admit that it is
nothing to ''crow over" We understand
the vanquished side take it all in good
part and try to laugh with all their
heart, and will forwith furnish that treat
which is to be given by the losing side. II
any of the sister Good TeTplar lodges have
not tried anything like the Literary Con
test, we would advise them to try it at once.
We have had nothing to increase the mem
bershIp and interest in the lodge so mnch
as this has done. We think there have
been fourteen new members taken into the
lodge this quarter, making the present
membership about sixty.
